Where is the Thermometer for outside temperature?
As the title, where abouts in cars is the sensor that says what the outside temperature is? I'm sure its in different places in different car
but what sort of places is likely to be in?
I know its an odd question but it came up last night and I can't stop thinking about it. I can't think where it would be that
wouldn't be massively thrown out by the the car being in use.

I had to change one on a vauxhall cavalier and it was fitted in the front bumper. Location depends on make and vehicle .

The majority are in the front bumper/lower grill. However as these can be effected by heat from the radiator when stationary, some manufacturers have
started fitting then in the door mirror.

Thanks for the replies. I'm guessing mines probably in the bumper as there are no lumps on the mirrors. Its a Panda (new style) just incase
anyone knows specifically for my car.

If it's in the bumper and you crash, how are you supposed to tell the temperature.......much better in the wing mirror!

If we knew what it was we were doing it wouldn't be called research would it!

the cars we make are next to or behind the hood catch.. by the way guys dont believe too much what the temp says - if you were to use a proper
calibration lab under controlled circumstances its impossible to get them accurate.. too many variables against cost of parts etc.. we spent a long
time trying to get that to work well.. it aint gonna happen so you could truly beleive it that much.. best guess would be couple of degrees near
